Description
Who was Daniel?
Daniel, whose Babylonian name was Belteshazzar, was a prominent Jewish prophet during the Babylonian exile. He was among the young nobles taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar and brought to Babylon to serve in the king's court (Daniel 1).
Known for his wisdom, integrity, and ability to interpret dreams and visions, Daniel served under several Babylonian kings, including Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius the Mede. He is mentioned alongside Noah and Job in Ezk.14.14,20 as an example of righteousness.
Throughout his life, Daniel received several visions and revelations from God, which are recorded in the Book of Daniel. These visions include the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dreams (Daniel 2; 4), the handwriting on the wall during Belshazzar's feast (Daniel 5), and visions concerning future kingdoms and the end times (Daniel 7-12).
Daniel's faithfulness to God was tested when he was thrown into the lions' den for praying to God instead of King Darius (Daniel 6). However, God protected him, and his faith and integrity were vindicated.
In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the "abomination of desolation" spoken of by the prophet Daniel (Mat.24.15; Mrk.13.14), indicating the continued significance of Daniel's prophecies.
Daniel's life and ministry demonstrate the importance of faith, prayer, and obedience to God, even in the face of persecution and adversity. His visions and prophecies provide insight into God's sovereign plan for the nations and the coming of the Messiah.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
